In 1961, society played no favourites with unwed mothers. Sarah Gardner’s parents held fast to society’s expectation of them and hid her in a home for unwed mothers. In Troubleย is based on historical fact.
In Trouble by Dianne Palovcik is the emotional story of teenage Sarah Gardner’s journey through betrayal and loss. Trapped inside Rose Hill Home, Sarah has a phony name, no past and is belittled for her shameful behaviour. She’s expected to give her baby up for adoption, return home and forget anything happened.
Rose Hill is not a place of refuge. Sarah devises a plan to escape and find the father of her child. She endures housemates with more problems than expecting a baby. Death, a stalker, then a newspaper story, drive Sarah to a desperate act.
Can Sarah stop her baby from being stolen? What kind of future will she have? In Trouble is inspired by a tragic period in Canadian history now brought to life for a new generation.
